Evan from Stockton, CA

There are tons of sporting events, as well as dances and other random events around campus.

Food and Dining

3 at most! It has it days where it is amazing, but it can also suck at the same time.

Dorm Life

The dorm life is what you make of it. It isn't perfect, but what school is?

Academic Rigor

I'd really give it a 3.5, but it also depends on your major. If you are a Nursing major, do not expect anything easy at all. Most other majors are difficult as well, but do not require as much work.

Tips for prospective students

Don't underestimate the school. It has a lot of potential past what you initially see.

In three sentences

With a small campus and small classes, it is a great way to get an education as well know the community. The campus is tiny and the social life can depend upon what you enjoy, but if you make it work then you can have fun!

Food and Dining

The school just changed dining services so the food has improved. In general college food isnt that great where ever you go because they will probably use some sort of catering company. Unless your school has fastfood chains on campus, then there isnt much variety.

Dorm Life

The dorms are old and outdated and need to be renovated completely hence why I stopped living on campus. Out dated furniture and appliances. People usually leave to go home on the weekend so expect to be bored on the weekend.

Academic Rigor

Depends on your major; the hardest and toughest majors tend to be in the science. The nursing major tends to be the most competitive, while biology and biochemistry tend to be tough as well. School does not show support for the other majors as they do with nursing.

Campus Safety

This campus is in Weston, MA, which is a small wealthy town about twenty minutes outside of Boston. The campus has blue lights in every parking lot, so with the press of a button, campus police can be at your assistance in a very short amount of time.

Going into Boston

Food and Dining

The food at Regis is improving little by little.

Dorm Life

The dorms are fairly spacious, but the quality of them is poor. Regis hasn't renovated their dorms since they were built. They are planning on beginning construction of suite style housing this coming spring. The dorms that they have now are really old and outdated, although most are spacious.

Academic Rigor

The difficulty of classes depends on the level, the professor, and the type of course. Obviously higher level courses are more difficult than introduction courses, but then it depends on the professor you have.

Tips for prospective students

Be prepared to meet many different types of people in a very small space.

In three sentences

Regis College is extremely accepting and diverse. It's the type of school where the Dean of Students knows you by name and will sit down to chat in the cafeteria. Regis College is very small, but it is getting updated technologically and it is doing some major renovations.

Dorm Life

There are not that many dorms and most people go home for the weekend.

What to do for fun

Well I spend a lot of time doing home work. The school has a lot of activities that are for fun. We have also rented a party bus that has brought us to night clubs and back to our dorms safely.

Food and Dining

The food at Regis College is great. There is a variety of foods available to all the students. I tend to study alot at night and there is a Cafe available to all students that is opened very late.

Being on my own for the first time is such a great experience. In the beginning I was home sick but as the months have gone by it seems to get better. I have a family at home, but I also have a family at the dorms.

Academic Rigor

I thought that I would have a difficult time with my Acedemics but I was wrong. All it takes is some hard work and concentration and that is all I needed.

Finish all of your general requirements your first two years while you are still finding yourself, and save your electives for a time when you are more established with yourself as an individual so you can focus on things that interest you.

What to do for fun

There is a shuttle bus that leads to the mall nearby or the train station. There is a schedule for students to know the times that the bus arrives. To enter the bus, you would need to show a valid ID that you are a Regis College student.

Food and Dining

The Upper student union and lower student union serves the best food for students. There are different selections to choose from everyday and there isn't a day that a student will not eat. Food is really cheap to buy and cook fresh as well.

Dorm Life

Everyone is friendly to each other. There are securities in every down for a student's safety. Regis College prevents access of drugs in dorms and rarely is exposed to any so far.

Academic Rigor

Study more than one hour before class to know what is happening in lecture. You don't want to be stuck behind when your professor is explaining notes/readings. It is best to write any questions and ask while in lecture so your professor can answer it.

Tips for prospective students

Always pay attention to your professor when lecturing. Sometimes he/she might say something that is not in your notes but is going to be in your test. Don't think that the test will be everything on the notes, sometimes you would have to read to get the answer.

In three sentences

Regis College is a very phenomenal school. The campus is absolutely beautiful because it is not a big school but not too small either, it's just right. The professors actually help students when they are in need of help and they everyone is friendly.

Campus Safety

the truth: there have been two stabbings on the regis campus. both didn't involves students, and campus police was right there to help. we're a small campus in a safe town, so there's no reason to have to wait for help or feel threatened. there are blue lights around campus in case anyone does need assistance.

Greek Life

we don't have any fraternities or sororities on campus.

Clubs and Activities

if you can get a faculty advisor and enough poeple involved, you can set up any kind of club you want at regis. there are intramural sports, plenty of clubs, and chances to get involved on campus.

Great for these types of students

regis isn't a party school. we have parties, but they're small. i think regis is best for potential nursing majors (our nursing program is fantastic) and students who really prefer a smaller school with individual attention. i can't speak for people in other departments, but i love my department faculty and my advisor. and it's definitely good for people who love the city, but don't want to go to school in the city. we're close to boston, but far enough away that the school still has a small town feel to it.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

there aren't really any unusual places on campus. the lsu (lower student union) is where most events happen. college hall has the best rooms, but it's all girls and is hard to get into. another desirable area is the pit, the basement floor of maria hall. it's quiet and kind of isolated. oh, and the best place to study is in the viewing rooms on the third floor of the library-no one disturbs you there!

Bang for the buck

in terms of academics, i think it's worth the price. i really feel like i'm being challenged and that i'm learning. however, room and board seems a little hight for what we're getting for food options and the condition of the dorms.

What to do for fun

there are a lot of group-sponsored events on campus, and during welcome weeks there's something going on every night. there's a shuttle to riverside station to go into boston, and there's a shuttle to the natick mall/framingham area.

Food and Dining

the food isn't great, but it's definitely improved over the last few months. a lot of it is basics: pizza, salad, burgers, and we have a stir fry bar. regis tries hard to make everything healthy but some of the food really just looks disgusting. best tip: try it! we've had a lot of food that looks bad, but tastes great. and remember that it's going to get monotonous. you're eating the same kinds of foods every day. but, it's like that at any college you go to.

Dorm Life

the dorms themselves are a little outdated, but everything is well-maintained. it can be boring, a lot of people go home on the weekends, and regis isn't a big party school. dorms are co-ed by wing except for college hall, which is all girls. the staff are all very friendly and willing to help. and, if you really get bored staying on campus, there's a shuttle to riverside station to go into boston!

Academic Rigor

i'm a hsitroy major and my roommate is a nursing major, and i have to say that both of us are being challenged. we're both doing a lot of reading and writing-this is not a school where you can slide by without doing the reading. i think regis expects a lot our of its students, and it shows in the courseload.

Tips for prospective students

i definitely suggest coming to visit campus. it gives you a chance to see the school, and possibly talk with faculty in your prospective department or sit in on a class. you need to have all of the facts before you can make an informed desicion, and the best way to do that is to see the school for yourself. the pictures on regis's website are nice looking, but they aren't accurate. for example, the dorms are a little outdated, so there aren't any photos of individual rooms, just the outsides of each building.

In three sentences

the location is great, i love being close to boston. faculty seem to really care about their students and are extremely dedicated. the food's not great, but when you eat the same thing every day it's going to get boring, no matter what college you're at.

Great for these types of students

Students that are looking for a good education, meeting a lot of great people, people who want to have great majors especially nursing, for a suburban campus, having a great and close relationship with teachers and staff, and looking to have a great college experience.

Tips for prospective students

Some tips are make sure that you are ready to learn and get prepared for your future career, be determined to do well, be prepared to make a lot of good friends, don't be afraid to try different things, keep your mind open and have fun.

Bang for the buck

Regis is an expensive school but the school is great at giving financial aid. 85% of students receive aid and the aid is a great amount which helps the student go to school especially in this difficult economy. Regis understands that not everyone can afford school so they try their best to give as much aid as possible.

Am enjoying being here

Regis has some of the most amazing people you will meet. Its a small school so everyone knows everyone but its a good thing because people support and help each other. Also there are always events on campus that are fun and you get to meet more people. There are many clubs and sports that people can join to have a great college experience.

Am learning a lot

Regis College has really good teachers who care about the student and do everything in their power to make sure the student understands the information they are receiving. The teachers are well educated themselves and also keep the classes interesting. Also there are a lot of resources, such as writing centers and tutors, to help the student out of class.
